The Much Needed Long Run

I feel so much better!

I had been planning on 10 miles this weekend. But Irish Blue seemed a little worried about her 11 mile run today, so I told her I would run 11 miles also to support her.

I woke up this morning around 9:00 AM. One of Darrell's buddies was coming over they were going to go out for a motorcycle ride. I had a cup of coffee with them and then I ate a Clif bar. While the boys were preparing for their ride, I was preparing for my run. I got my water ready, changed into my running clothes and made sure the kids were situated with breakfast and activities to keep them busy while I was running.


How I feel now.

As I began to run, I could feel the layers of frustration from the past few weeks peel off of me. By the time I reached the halfway point, my mind was clear and I was able to begin some future planning.

It was a really nice feeling.

I normally run long on Sunday, but I couldn't wait to get going today. That means I should be ready to run again on Monday morning. Shaking up the routine a little bit.

Changing things up could be fun and just what I need!
